Durability problem

Being a lifelong Michigan resident, I've never been afraid to drive in poor weather conditions and I've never given much thought to my tires - until the last month when I had two blowouts on tires on a new BMW x1 with less than 3,000 miles on them. This is my second X1, and I never had an issue with the tires on my 2017 (a different tire brand). Seems like there must be a durability problem with this tire. Over the years I've periodically hit potholes and needed a realignment, but I've never blown a tire, and certainly not two within a month.

Merely acceptable summer performance, terrible in snow

These Michelin Primacy Tour A/S tires came factory-installed on my 2025 Chevy Blazer RS, and they are completely unsafe for "real" Canadian winter conditions, especially in Alberta. In dry weather they're merely acceptable, but the moment temperatures dropped and snow appeared, they became outright dangerous. I had to drive over three hours in snowy conditions (Not whiteout conditions, just simply "winter" driving with some snow fall) with 3 passengers and could not safely exceed 70 km/h in a 110 km/h zone because the vehicle was constantly sliding and nearly fishtailing, even with light steering, gentle acceleration, and plenty of space. Traction was essentially nonexistent. The car never felt planted or predictable until the last bit of the drive where I was finally able to safely accelerate to the appropriate highway speed without feeling like I was putting my passengers in danger — there was A LOT of white-knuckle driving. For a tire marketed as “All-Season” and sold factory-equipped on a vehicle in Canada, this performance is honestly embarrassing. These tires provide zero confidence, zero winter grip, and zero margin for error once conditions are anything less than dry. If you live anywhere that sees snow, ice, or cold temperatures, avoid these tires entirely. I will be replacing them immediately, and will likely be going back to the CrossClimate2s

Great Touring Car Tire

Could be a bit more grippy but overall very solid choice for a performance touring car. After 50,000 + miles, i just purchased my second set. Quiet and stable on the highway.

Nice Tire

Traction - good | Comfort - good | Design - nice | Performance - good | Durability - TBD but purchased these tires for a previous vehicle and it was very good.

Smoother ride.

Tires come standard on Mercedes GLE, however, if you choose the upgrade Bridgestone Run Flat tires for your vehicle as I did you will be disappointed in the tread wear and comfort.

45,000 miles replaced after 30,000

I purchased my last set of tires on February 22,2024 and put 30,000 miles on them. I did not get my 45,000 miles as expected. I did rotate my tires but to many potholes made my tires wear unevenly

Quality Tire

The tires create less road noise then some of the other tires and seem to give you a good smooth ride along with the quality and getting around in the snow. I would recommend them.

Very Happy

We've bee very happy with our Michelin tires. We've had sleet and snow this winter and the tires have performed well. Comfortable ride with no noise issues.

Quality, noise, price, and performance UNACCEPTABLE for Michelin brands

First of all, rotate tires regularly around every 5k miles and do alignment, even replaced struts when tires were feathers and wearing poorly way too early and making horrible noise. Also had one tire the tire shop described as a radial pull that alignment didn't seem to fix. And after trying other tires, I always went back to Michelins for performance and handling, but these new tires are HORRIBLE. Terrible noise and handling, sounds like a 4x4 and drives like one too!! Instead of the soft, quiet performance tires I always had before for the HIGH PRICE of these tires on a V6 coupe!! Multiple issues with recent purchases. Not at all consistent with earlier purchases and still very expensive! Extremely disappointed Michelin. These are nothing like the tires I used to get and still very expensive.

Good experience, but worried about using tire sealant

I have about 50k km on my tires so far and they are wearing very well. The foam rubber does make a noticeable reduction in road noise, but it’s not huge. The one thing that concerns me now that I didn’t think about when I bought them is that my PHEV does not have a spare tire. Instead it has a bottle of tire sealant and an air pump to seal the tire sufficiently to get to a tire repair centre. I don’t know what kind of mess this might make with the foam insert and how this might affect patching the tire. I plan to use CAA to get a tow if possible instead of risking injecting the tire with sealant if I get a flat.
